This Friday at 10:00 AM, the German Language Association (GfdS) will reveal its 2025 Words of the Year. A jury has narrowed down thousands of public submissions to choose the most culturally significant terms. The annual selection highlights words that capture the political, economic, and social mood of the past year.
The GfdS has been honouring Words of the Year since 1977. Unlike other rankings, the association focuses on cultural impact rather than just how often a word is used. Each year, the chosen terms reflect the biggest debates and shifts in society.
The 2025 winners will join a long tradition of words that define their time. Past selections have often mirrored major political and social changes in Germany. This year’s choices will likely do the same, offering a snapshot of the nation’s current concerns.
